Greenwood says yes
Mason Greenwood has approved a move to Roma and the club is close to wrapping up an agreement with the Marseille winger, according to reports in Italy and France (2) (8). Personal terms are not expected to be an obstacle, the 24-year-old has already said his goodbyes. Manchester United holds a significant sell-on clause, which Fabrizio Romano notes could still influence the final structure of the deal (2). For a Roma side that finished the season looking short of cutting edge in attack, this is a statement signing.
